*The figure for 1955 and subsequent years take account of revised estimates of trade in parcel post resulting from a new sample inquiry started in 1955. As it is not possible to revise the figures for years prior to 1955 both the revised and unrevised figures for 1955 have been shown for the purpose of comparison.
